↠≫ RABBITS ≪↞

My editor at work always says this thing to me about chasing
rabbits: that if you chase a whole bunch of different ones at the same time,
they’re all going to get away. I’m sure you’ve all heard the saying before. But
notwithstanding the fact that I kind-of dislike rabbits – or, I’ll admit it, am
a bit frightened/grossed out by them – it’s a totally true analogy for me at
the moment.

Lately it feels like I’ve been chasing a whole bunch of
rabbits and catching none. I’ve been furiously hopping from one half-finished
project to one new-formed idea to one vaguely-glimpsed vision and back again –
a process which leaves a trail of incomplete
things everywhere.

And on top of all this proverbial rabbit-chasing, I’m
finding it almost impossible to keep pace with the bare-minimum requirements of
day-to-day life, like staying on good terms with the real estate and making it
to work on time, and remembering to feed the dog and not getting fined for
minor traffic infringements.

I’m not sure why life’s being difficult in that way, but I’m
putting it down to the rabbits. So I’m going to chose one, maybe two, and work
on catching them.

~ ABOUT ~

Illustrator and writer, by nature the former and by circumstance the latter. Grew up in the bush and moved to the city, traipsed around the east coast, fell in love, read Cormac McCarthy, listened to Townes Van Zandt and picked up a banjo.

I’m interested in the balance of things, of things as they really are — neither here nor there, beautiful or horrible, strong or weak, wise or stupid. And in no way mundane.
